South Carolina parents who are divorcing need to make sure that they put their children first. This may also mean giving each other the benefit of the doubt even when one believes that the other parent does not deserve it. For example, rather than assuming that an ex-spouse is irresponsible by not adhering to a time schedule, a parent should assume there is a good reason for the tardiness. Parents also need to keep their own emotions in check around the children and avoid venting or saying negative things about each other in front of the child.

One problem a divorced South Carolina parent might run into is the other parent moving to be closer to a new partner. Even if the parent makes an effort to not move too far away, there still may be an additional commuting burden for the other one. The situation may worsen if the parent dislikes the new partner and does not like the child spending time with them. However, the first thing parents must do in a situation like this is set aside their own conflicts and focus on what is best for the child.

Parents in South Carolina who are getting a divorce may face a number of issues regarding visitation, custody and child support in the years ahead. One common situation is that the noncustodial parent may start to want more time with their children. This parent should not withhold child support in an effort to make this happen. Instead, talking with the other parent and pursuing a modification in court is the right approach.

Co-parenting after ending a marriage can be impacted by the manner in which South Carolina parents have approached their divorce. Those who work together through mediation or collaboration often seek solutions that will encompass the goals of both parties while keeping the best interests of a child in focus. However, those who have gone through a court battle could continue to experience major contentions over matters that are not particularly serious. The issue of screen time and video games, for example, might be a significant concern for some parents and a minor interest for others. Moderating a child's screen time when they are away from home could depend on the co-parenting relationship.

When a South Carolina couple has a child, they may split parenting duties especially if one ends up working more than the other. If the couple decides to get a divorce later on, however, the parent who was primarily responsible for the child's care may be considered to be the primary caretaker. This can potentially influence where the child will live once the divorce is finalized.

Going through a divorce is never easy, especially when there are children involved. There are many factors to consider such as who stays in the matrimonial home and how to divide assets. However, the most important decision to be made is who will maintain custody of the children, or if there is to be joint custody, how long and when will they stay with each parent. Additionally, grandparents have rights too, and their visitation will also have to be considered.
